Who does Shakespeare in an French accent? When every role is written there is speaking precisely in English accent. If Thats all u can come up for a serious reply,i wonder how bad ur invalid reply would be.
Oh, come on! You’re asking an English accent from a woman whose mother tongue is French, so the fair thing to ask would be for her to do a French dialect, which she has done in some of her films. Plus, she speaks English in many of her roles and it’s not like she’s doing something stupid like Winslet speaking in a German accent while The Reader is set in Germany, or the countless US/UK/Australian actors doing the same cringey thing. Ugh, on top of racism, xenophobia, imperialism, Eurocentrism and countless other forms of oppresion, white people never seem to get enough and now we’re adding the entitlement of asking for foreign actors to speak perfect English (while most white people from the US only speak one language). Exhausting!
IF for some reason Blanchett is stopped by Yeoh at the BAFTAs or if they don’t feeling like giving her a third Oscar, I can see Riseborough winning this. I mean, the amount of gymnastics the industry has to pull off in order to deny a woman of color the Best Actress statue is insane. Double exhausting!
